Ever considered becoming a big brother or sister?

Volunteer just a couple hours a month. Do things you already like to do; go to movies, sport events, just hang out. The activities are not what is important, the kids say it’s spending time with an adult who cares. Time with a positive role model can be a life changer.

There are over 21,000 boys ready and waiting to be matched with Big Brothers across the country right now, that’s double the number of girls waiting for a Big Sister. Don’t wait, get involved now.
